Medications Bene Bac questions.

I saw those, but at 15 grams at lowest 1 gram per dose that's only a weeks worth is it not?

Punkin gets his antibiotics twice a day, so he would need two grams per day if I'm correct?

The other issue is the one I posted, I can have here tomorrow.

The 15 gram syringes wouldn't be here until between Nov 5 and Nov 18th. That's far too long of a wait for me.

I actually went ahead and ordered the ones that @bpatters linked to.

I'm just not sure how long they're going to last, or if I'm supposed to give a dose after every dose of antibiotics.

I've been breaking an acidophilus caplet into 4 to 5 mL of hot water and stirring it until it's dissolved. Then I draw it up into 4 syringes. I searched for a while for that formula and of course now I can't remember where I got it. He gets one syringe 2 hours after every antibiotic dose

No one has yet told me what the dosage IS, or how often.

Ok, thank you. That's good to know. He gets his antibiotics every 12 hours so I wasn't sure how often he should get it.

I do dose after every administration of antibiotic. I figure some of that good bacteria is dying in the stomach on its way down, so I'd like to replenish it regularly.

Thank you! Should I use the 1 gram dose or will it dose smaller than that? I've never used them and do NOT want to screw this all up.

Thank you, @bpatters. I'll make sure I consider that when they arrive. Supposedly between Nov 5 and Nov 18th. With a little luck I'm really hoping by that time I won't need them at all.

Are you using the pet gel? If so, yes. Give her 1/2 a gram roughly 1-2 hours after each dose of antibiotic. Make sure you monitor her, and weigh her once daily, preferably first thing in the morning before she's eaten anything. That way you'll know if she's getting enough to eat.

Yes. If she has small poops, shes probably not getting enough to eat. As long as your pig is on an antibiotic, a probiotic should also be administered 1-2 hrs after.
